Leona Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Terry Pratchett by a long shot. Knowing he'll never write another book makes me sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leona Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 The way you worded that is misleading. The Discworld novels are over, although she might write stories of her own (and apparenly she's been involved with the script for several video games I've never played).

kirby9612 Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 Oh. Sorry. But I found a copy of Making Money at the bookstore at my local library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapier Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 G.R.R. Martin, I rather like Rowling's style even though I haven't read much of the books, and Bran Sanderson (though I'm only on the beginning of two of his books). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magical CC Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 HP Lovecraft and Stephen King. Man, I love their books and the way they tell their stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightBow Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) Definitely Terry Pratchett. It's unfortunate that he didn't manage to die on his own terms, like he wanted to. Edited November 20, 2015 by BrightBow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyn Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Top 3- J.R.R. Tolkien, Elizabeth Chadwick, Sharon Kay Penman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blah the Prussian Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Eric Blair/George Orwell. The father of dystopia, and his work,has yet to be surpassed by cheap imitations.

amiabletemplar Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Terry Pratchett is good. I'm a big fan of Tolkien, Lewis, and Carroll as well. Also, Anne Bishop's The Black Jewels, while not appropriate for a child audience, is quite good as well. On the sci-fi side, I'm a huge Asimov fan, and Frank Herbert isn't bad either (if you can survive the rather long-winded prose). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czar_Yoshi Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Brandon Sanderson is pretty epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randombobman Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Damn way too many to choose from but my top 3 in no particular order would be Orson Scott Card, JRR Tolkien and Cynthia Voigt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angienessyo Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Haruki Murakami. His stuff always gets really weird so it's fun to read, and I love how smoothly his work flows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpent of Sheol Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Wu Cheng'en, and mostly because of Journey to the West. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amiabletemplar Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 uhhh does jk Rowling count Yes Though at the same time, it wouldn't be bad to branch out. Ursula K. Le Guin, for example--A Wizard of Earthsea in particular, since there have been some claims that Rowling..."borrowed" ideas from that series for her works.
